Welcome to Gaia! ::

Your Gaia Name: TigressPrincess

Character's name: Sebastian Amilleo

Status: Student

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Race: Demon Elf

Appearance:Sebastian's his skin is dark beige and he has intricate tattoos around each of his arms and running down the length of his muscular torso . His eyes are a brilliant blood red and his hair seems to move at the slightest of winds which makes it flow like water. He can usually be seen everyday with a different hair style it can either be short or long, he can choose. Sebastian was born with the very rare ability to shape shift. But he does not wish to master this skill and only uses it to change the length of his hair. Sebastian

Height: 5'11

Strengths: After what Sebastian has been through, nothing can bring him down. His perseverance and dedication is one of his best strengths. Nothing or no one can bring him down.

Weaknesses: Although his perseverance is his strengths it is also his downfall. Sebastian will go through great lengths to prove he is right or to overcome something. This also puts him and other people in great danger when it comes to fighting. When Sebastian wants to prove something he doesn't care who gets hurts or affected. This can make him seem like a very selfish person and also makes him very stubborn.

Weapon: None; he really just came to the school so he could be with people of his kind. His fox does most of the fighting if he gets in trouble.

Personality: Even though Sebastian has been through a lot he doesn't like to play on the whole "tragic childhood" thing. He's very goofy, fun, flirty and your average person. Although he's twenty-one, he has never had a girlfriend and is going through that "awkward stage" right now. Because of his perseverance Sebastian is never one to turn down a challenge. In fact he'll probably start one just because he's bored. And if you snub his challenge and start to walk away, he's not one to take the high road and would probably do a low-brow move. Sebastian is BIG on jumping out of corners and setting booby traps just to scare people. But when you do ask him about his ancestry or his heritage, Sebastian suddenly becomes very introverted and seclude. He separates himself from a group so he can block the horrific images in his head.

Bio:About a year before Sebastian was born in Selas, a great rivalry between the elven and demonic race was raging in two civilizations side-by-side. The elves who had swore to never set foot in the demon's community broke their vow when a little boy curiously wandered in. Unfortunately the demons were an unforgiving type that believed no matter how ignorant children are they should be punished for their actions. The elves, however, had a whole different view, seeing the "intrusion" as a mere slip-up on a mother's part. Because of this minor disagreement over an ancient law, the elves and demons of these two communities declared war upon each other. Although this battle was very minor in a larger sense, to these two societies it meant honoring their long since ancestors. The battle waged on for days and days, with countless of numbers of soldiers dying on both sides. After the death of a brave elven general and the capturing of a outstanding demonic lieutenant, the war came to a halt. The elves who had nothing on their minds but revenge vowed to the demons that they would kill the lieutenant if they refused their wishes. The demon community, having no other choice but to surrender, agreed to the elves' ludicrous terms: 1. All demon children will serve as slaves to the elf children. 2. All demon adults will be spread throughout the community to be used as anything the citizens needed; housemaids, blacksmiths, millers, etc. 3. The demon town will be destroyed along with all the historic artifacts within. The Elven Elders, a group of wise elves who were advised before every situation, were not notified of this treaty for fear that they would become enraged. Unfortunately nothing could slip under these aged mens' noses and they were completely aghast when they finally heard the news. They marched straight to the treaty-writer and sliced his hands off as punishment. "This treaty never was," they proclaimed, snapping their fingers simultaneously to produce another treaty. Nine simple words were written across this piece of parchment: We dwell amongst each other with peace and harmony. Despite the straightforwardness of the agreement, both towns were discussing the true meaning of this. Finally it was signed aside much debate and controversy over it being a joke or it being serious. The demon community, who most would see as evil and cynical, actually rejoiced over the treaty, celebrating the new beginning it would bring them. The elves, who were still quite confused, eventually began to do just as the negotiation had stated: make peace and harmonize. Demons married elves and had cross-bred babies that thrived and were actually quite attractive. Sebastian, who was honored as the first of his kind, became known as The Baby of Compromise. Life was sweet for the new race, the elves and demons co-mingling as one. But every upside has and downside; other elven and demonic communities found this meshing to be disgusting and outrageous. Both entered the town in a mad rampage destroying everything in sight and leaving every house upturned. Flames blazed the streets of the once peaceful land and houses that were homes to many happy families were now piles of ash. There were but two survivors of the onslaught and that was Sebastian and his mother, the demon side of him. It was in the dead of night that he and his demon mother emerged from their hiding spot only to see the ruins their home lay in. Sebastian, being only four at the time didn't understand. "Mommy, where did all the people go?" His mom looked down at him with big, black eyes, "They're gone," she whispered. The next morning after traveling for more than eight hours, the two ended up at a demon society, where Sebastian's mother concealed his elven ears and kept secretive about his father. There they lived for years on years, Sebastian acquiring more and more demon traits. The day came when Sebastian almost lost his pointed-ears and that was when his mother had had it. She sent Sebastian away to the only elf family she knew would accept his kind. After only a few years Sebastian had regained his elven side and balanced his demon side with it. Despite the hospitality of the family, Sebastian insisted that he leave to where he would finally belong. In a pamphlet that so magically appeared on Sebastian's doorstep was his ticket to acceptance: House of Bricks: School of Weaponry. Seizing at the opportunity, Sebastian begged and pleaded for money until he had enough and set off to the weaponry school.

Extra:Sebastian also acquired his demon mother's power of lighting and light. He can't do much except make lighting bolts and turn of lights in a room. To deal with the loneliness of not having a father, Sebastian's mother gave him a electric fox (female) Normal Form Battle Form

Yay! I'll add a separate profile for the fox in here

I was a little worried that I went overboard with the bio because it doesn't really mention Sebastian until the end...and I'll get back to you on where it takes place because I didn't even know there was a map for this rp sweatdrop

Well...
Rozalia will have to be run by Aka also, to see if we can accept a pet like that, given the way the school works and, to an extent, the current scene. Don't know if I would let her in - she seems like another character and, while there would be a good reason for her being at the HoB...just doesn't feel right at the moment. However, it's AkaMaaku's call.

I don't like the shapeshifting thing. It seems superfluous and just added-in to explain a feature that would be "interesting" but not really relevant, but shapeshifting is a big, big deal. Especially since you left it open to be developed further. I don't want to say just "take it out," but since it would not only play a role in his life to an extent as well as being something major...

Oh, let me explain why: Shapeshifting isn't all that unusual an ability from a character-development standpoint, but it varies. Some shapeshifters can change into animals, but the really strong ones can change bits and pieces to suit their own needs. If he can change his hair length, what's stopping him from, with a bit of practice, changing is eye color, face structure, etc. to make him seem like another person? Or even changing his fingertips into dense bone, for combat. Or restructuring his eyes and ears for enhanced senses? Partial shapeshifting is an extremely useful (and powerful) ability, so I'm a bit unsure about it.

As I think I said earlier, I really like the way the character was made. However, Rozalia is a little bit of a different situation - the only other person with a "pet" that strong would be a headmaster, and he is a special case. Beyond that, her mind seems to be wired like a human's in the way she acts, even from, basically, birth. And I don't see why, if Sebastian has someone like her to teach him, he needs to be in a weaponry school in the first place; even if it is to be with people like himsef.

Well, how to put it:

Strengths:
-Lightning Magic
-Light Magic
-Is fairly strong
-Extremely determined
-Selective Shapeshifting

Weaknesses:
-Can be too determined/stubborn
-Powers are not yet fully developed
-???

It might be easier if you went more into detail about his Strengths and Weaknesses in the profile, since as Laureka said they're not exactly fleshed out. But as of now he seems like an extremely 'rawly talented' character, in that he can do many things but is only held back by lack of training, which he will clearly be getting because his Pet is strong enough and can train him. I think that's my biggest problem: Part of the point of the HoB is to have the characters learn through the guidance of other characters, preferably one not controlled by the same RP'er. Since Roza will, presumably, be teaching him quite a bit, it goes against at least my own ideas of the plot we're accepting him into. Frankly, the only things holding back accepting him are the shapeshifting and my doubts about Roza.

As before, no offense meant to you, but some things need to be sorted out a little bit.

I'm leaving tomorrow in the morning, so I can take a look at it again tonight/then, but I'll tell Aka to handle it if any changes are made afterwards.

Edit: I (and one of the GM's) actually support this suggestion:


Keep it in mind.

~Andarel

Okay. Sebastian is accepted. Sorry for any and all inconveniences.

Just a couple things to note for you to look out for.

If you get some free time, Aka said something about the weaknesses not balancing out with the strengths (I don't quite understand either... >_>; ) so just take a little time to flesh those out more if you can.

Another thing. Andarel mentioned the shape shifting ability, but since you say he won't be using it except for his hair, I'm having a hard time seeing the issue, so I think it'll be fine. (But I guess if you feel like fleshing that out for Andarel you can do that, too, since as he says, partial is a pretty useful technique.)

Okay, I think that's it. Sebastian is accepted. If you ever have any questions feel free to PM me. smile
